Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts), chopped
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, cornstarch, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and begins to bubble, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the pudding thickens to a custard-like consistency, about 3 to 5 more minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
Step 5
Transfer the pudding to individual serving bowls or one large serving dish.
Step 6
Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Step 8
Garnish with additional nuts or fresh fruit before serving, if desired.
